Chapter 29 The Grand Auction

Heavenly Dou Imperial Palace.

Qian Renxue rushed over and stumbled upon the scene of Emperor Xueye playing with his favorite concubine.

Emperor Xueye felt no shame whatsoever. He pushed aside his disheveled concubine, telling her to leave on her own, and then put on a serious expression before sitting down in a chair.

"Qinghe, what's going on now? Why are you rushing over here?"

Qian Renxue looked conflicted and recounted everything that had happened at Viscount Jack's mansion.

"...According to my investigation, the siblings brought by Viscount Jack, as well as the young girl he previously murdered, were all sent from the Grand Auction House. There is collusion between the two. If Xiao traces it back to the Grand Auction House, I'm afraid it will..."

Qian Renxue didn't continue speaking, the meaning of which was self-evident.

Given Xiao's meticulous nature, he even dared to kill other national heroes in front of Emperor Xueye in the imperial palace.

Now that Xiao knows the auction house is involved in trafficking young girls, can he accept this?

If things escalate, it will affect too many nobles.

This will likely shake the entire Heaven Dou Empire, as it will seriously impact the very foundation of the Heaven Dou Empire!

Emperor Xueye rubbed his brow, a hint of impatience flashing across his face.

"This is such a hassle..."

According to the laws of the Heavenly Dou Empire, the existence of slaves is naturally not permitted.

But where there's a policy, there's a countermeasure; all sorts of methods are used to satisfy the perverse desires of those nobles.

Emperor Xueye didn't have the energy to keep an eye on those nobles. The death of some commoners wouldn't have any impact on the Heavenly Dou Empire.

Even if they are discovered, according to the law, the noble will at most be fined a certain number of gold soul coins.

Isn't this perfect? ​​It can even generate revenue for the Heavenly Dou Empire!

The problem is, now a "peerless hero" has suddenly appeared. Who is Xiao?

He's an outlier among outliers; once he finds out about this, he'll definitely keep pestering me to the bitter end.

It could potentially cause too much bloodshed!

Emperor Xueye sighed, "What a troublesome fellow. If I had known, I should have sent him directly to Martial Soul City and given that Pope a headache!"

Qian Renxue lowered her head, a hint of joy flashing in her eyes.

On the surface, she is the crown princess of the Heaven Dou Empire, but in reality, she is the young master of the Spirit Hall, who is secretly working for the Spirit Hall. Naturally, she hopes to recruit Xiao into the Spirit Hall!

Now is a golden opportunity!

"Then we need to..."

"Qinghe, you're in charge of this matter. Don't let things escalate; try to keep it within a certain scope. Also, expedite Xiao's arrangements and get him to establish a life-or-death relationship with the Spirit Hall as soon as possible."

Emperor Xueye gave the order.

"Yes, ma'am!" Qian Renxue replied respectfully and quickly left.

……

Yuexuan.

In the room on the top floor, Tang Yuehua was playing the harp, with only her maid Lan'er around. The melodious music performance had no audience.

A faint worry appeared on Tang Yuehua's stunningly beautiful face.

The melody is also full of this emotion!

The maid Lan'er was lost in thought, touched by Tang Yuehua's music, and remembered her sad memories.

Suddenly, a figure flashed in.

The maid Lan'er hurriedly stepped in front of the other party, and only after seeing that it was Tang Xiao did she apologize and step back.

Tang Yuehua noticed Tang Xiao's arrival and immediately stopped playing.

"Big brother!"

"Girl, why don't you play a little longer? It sounds really nice," Tang Xiao said.

Tang Yuehua gave him a reproachful look. "Big brother, what's got you in the mood? Did you find Xiao? How is he? Has he been given a hard time by the Spirit Hall?"

Tang Xiao shook his head, a look of disdain on his face.

He leaned against the wall, arms crossed, and said, "What a disappointment. Girl, that Xiao isn't suitable for our Haotian Sect to recruit; he actually abandoned his companion!"

"What's going on?" Tang Yuehua was slightly taken aback.

Although these words came from Tang Xiao's mouth, she still couldn't believe it.

Although they had only known each other for less than a day, she believed she understood Xiao's personality.

He is definitely not the kind of person who betrays his promises or is afraid of death; otherwise, he would never have become enemies with the Spirit Hall and the Heaven Dou Royal Family!

"I saw it with my own eyes! Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo went to cause him trouble, and Poison Douluo fought alongside him. But what happened? He actually abandoned Poison Douluo halfway through the fight with Chrysanthemum Douluo and ran away alone!"

"Do you think the Clear Sky Sect would want someone like that? I certainly wouldn't!"

Tang Xiao sneered, looking down on Xiao's character.

"..." Tang Yuehua frowned slightly. She still didn't believe it, but since her older brother had said so, something like this must have happened, but there must be some inside story.

Tang Yuehua thought for a moment and guessed, "Maybe he's out of strength? Or maybe it's for practical reasons, just like we did back then..."

Upon hearing this, Tang Xiao's face immediately turned red.

Back then, the Clear Sky Sect was besieged and attacked by the Spirit Hall. After several battles, the Clear Sky Sect suffered a crushing defeat!

To prevent the situation from escalating further, the Clear Sky Sect chose to retreat into seclusion. In order to delay the Spirit Hall's encirclement and attack, they abandoned their four affiliated sects.

This matter has been criticized by people both inside and outside the industry!

Tang Xiao scratched his face, unsure of what to say.

He couldn't fool Tang Yuehua, after all, she was also a witness to that incident.

"In short, brother, I don't believe that kind of thing will happen, so please go and check again. Even if you don't recruit Xiao, make sure he doesn't get hurt," Tang Yuehua said solemnly.

Tang Xiao nodded, a question forming in his mind.

Tang Yuehua cares so much about Xiao, could he be an illegitimate child?

……

Meanwhile, after returning to Tiandou City, Xiao found the siblings and said he would stand up for them and hoped they could help him deal with the dark forces behind Viscount Jack.

The siblings were very courageous and said they would go with Xiao to correct him.

After finishing his psychological work, Xiao led the siblings and teleported to He Puyuan's side.

They were still in the dungeon, but it had been dug open, and the dungeon was now illuminated by light, exposing all the dark environment inside.

Soldiers stood all around. Qian Renxue had just returned, leading a group of palace soul masters.

It was at this moment that Xiao appeared in the crowd.

Everyone looked at Xiao, their expressions complex.

Among them were members of various noble factions who were watching the situation unfold, and they were all worried that Xiao would bring trouble to their homes.

Upon her return, Qian Renxue immediately ordered the public execution of those who knew about Viscount Jack's collusion with the Grand Auction House, and the destruction of all evidence.

But she was deliberately stalling for time, so when Xiao appeared...

There were more than thirty people in total, but only half of them were killed.

"stop."

When Xiao saw those people being killed in public, he immediately spoke up.

Xiao's voice carried a chilling killing intent, instantly enveloping the soldiers carrying out the executions.

Suddenly, the entire courtyard fell silent.

"..."

Qian Renxue looked surprised, but was secretly quite pleased.

Luckily, I made it in time!
